In 2016, our 2nd Annual Super Summer Book Contest had a comic book format. Eleven year old Cami Frahm was our winner! Her story was chosen among all of our entries by a panel of judges using very specific criteria. Her darling story about a monkey named Mango is beautifully illustrated and well organized. Mango is relatable and we all just fell in love with the tale of poor Mango who was feeling discouraged. You see, her younger brother Caleb is better at everything they like to do together: board games, basketball, and even riding a unicycle. Mango feels her brother is showing off and that she has no talent whatsoever. It takes some introspection and a little nudge from Mom for Mango to discover how many talents she really has and that she shouldn't be angry with her brother for having talents she covets. You can tell how much time the young author took in every single frame on each page of her book. Her characters are so expressive and even the backgrounds are well done. Bravo to Cami and all of our young authors! 14pp, sc, 6.5x10", glossy paper ~ Sara
